Overview The Rural Communities Strategy 2018 (the Strategy) is a land use strategy which will guide zoning and design principles for future development in Adjungbilly, Muttama and Tumblong. The Strategy looks at other future planning necessities such as infrastructure and economic development over the coming generation (to 2048) in making recommendations for residential growth and development.

The Strategy focuses on five key themes throughout the document:

 History  Definition of Precincts  Village Character  Regional Links  Opportunities for Renewal and/or Growth

Adjungbilly, Muttama and Tumblong have been identified by this strategic planning process as rural communities. Rural communities are similar to villages in that they have low population thresholds, however they have no clear urban form. Not all of these communities have advocated for residential growth and only one has been identified as having potential in the medium to long term to transition to a village.

Rural communities are often remnants of once larger villages (Tumblong) and towns (Muttama), which have declined for one reason or another. They retain a character which is distinct from the surrounding rural landscape.

Rural communities are tight knit settlements and many residents have family connection to European settlement of the area; however there is capacity in these communities to accept new residents from outside the area who are looking for open space and an alternate lifestyle.

Consideration of community identity is important particularly when considering a growth threshold for these communities and the amenity needs and works which could compliment this.

This Strategy will propose short, medium and long term actions to support amenity improvements and development. Future reviews of this strategy will insure that recommendations continue to reflect the aspirations of the community. The overarching goal of creating the Strategy is not only to guide how and where residential development should occur in these three communities but also to serve to advertise these communities and the experience they have to offer to potential residents and visitors.

The Strategy will be reviewed every five years in order to incorporate changes, reflect community trends and maintain relevance.

This Strategy is the start of a discussion about the communities of Adjungbilly, Muttama and Tumblong and should be seen as the groundwork for future possible evolution in urban form to possibly be considered as a village.

Context

Location Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council is located in the upper Riverina area, west of the Snowy Mountains. The three rural communities identified in this strategy are all located in the former Gundagai Shire Local Government Area. All are characterised by the regional roads which run through them and a waterbody which generally parallels the settlement pattern.

Figure 1: Locations

Adjungbilly Environment Adjungbilly and surrounds are known to have been disturbed and utilised for agriculture for over 150 years. Remnant vegetation and animal communities remain today along with introduced species mainly through agriculture.

There are 242 records of flora and fauna for the defined area. Appendix A of this document details all flora and fauna recorded for the Adjungbilly area. Of particular concern is the number of fauna species threatened due to habitat competition with introduced species and prey status of introduced species.

History Two runs known as Adjungbilly were subject to pastoral licences in favour of George McDonald (40,000 acres to become known as Bongongo Station) and Daniel Murphy (2 square miles) in 1845. Largely an agricultural community, the rural community of Adjungbilly has no distinct urban form. A post office known as Tomooroma (also spelt Tomorroma) Post Office was opened in the area in 1896 and was renamed the Adjungbilly Post Office in 1899. This post office was closed in 1974.

Bongongo Public School, which was named after the neighbouring Bongongo Station was established in 1886 and is the focal point of this community, with buildings and grounds serving as community facilities outside school hours and the school newsletter sharing local news.

A memorial board in the school hall lists 13 men who served “For King and Country: Adjungbilly and Tomorroma” in the First World War, four of which were killed. In World War Two, 27 members of the Adjungbilly community served with 3 wounded in action. Thankfully none were killed.

Adjungbilly was the name applied to the 97th Shire of New South Wales, Adjungbilly Shire Council. In 1905, New South Wales divided all remaining land outside of the City of Sydney, any municipality or within the Western Division, into “shires”. Land encompassed by Adjungbilly Shire Council is as described on the proclamation on the following two pages, which was printed in the Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales on Wednesday 7 March 1906. Shire chambers were originally located at 195 Sheridan Street, Gundagai.

Significantly, Adjungbilly Shire Council lobbied the New South Wales Government to declare areas of Gundagai South as “urban”, essential flood free land for the growth of Gundagai town. Adjungbilly Shire Council is noted for having to oversee a vast network of rural roads and the majority of works done by Council were in connecting the rural communities and maintaining roads.

In 1923, Adjungbilly Shire Council was merged with Gundagai Municipal Council to become Gundagai Shire Council.

Demography In the 2016 census Adjungbilly was reported to have 81 people, with a median age of 36. All homes are owner occupied (either owned outright or through a mortgage). There were 43 dwellings recorded with an average of 3.1 people per household, meaning that there is either a significant number of vacant dwellings or a wide discrepancy of house hold compositions. Unfortunately, being such a small statistical population, the Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish more in depth data for analysis.

Muttama Environment Muttama and surrounds are known to have been disturbed and utilised for agriculture for over 150 years, remnant vegetation and animal communities remain.

There are 167 records of flora and fauna are available for the defined area. Appendix A of this document details all flora and fauna recorded for the Muttama area. Of particular concern is the number of fauna species threatened due to habitat competition with introduced species. History Muttama Run is listed as a pastoral licence to F Tait in 1845. Gold mining commenced on the Muttama Reef Mine in 1862, after being notified as a part of the South Western District Gold Fields on 13 October 1861. In 1882, roughly 800 men were known to have been prospecting in Muttama, meaning that it is likely that Muttama had a population of over 1,000 people for a time.

Muttama Reef Post Office was opened 1 February 1876, renamed Muttama Post Office in 1889 and closed 12 October 1979.

The Tumut Branch Line was constructed in the mid-1880s, with Muttama Station opening 1 June 1886, after tenders for the erection of the station buildings were undertaken in 1885. The station was closed in 1975 and the Tumut Branch Line was abandoned in 1984. Unfortunately the station and platform are demolished, however the station masters residence remains.

Muttama was home to 21 men who served in World War One, of which 4 were killed and 45 men and women in World War Two of which four were killed. Those who gave their lives are immortalised in remembrance gates to the recreation ground built in 1947.

Demography In 2016, 131 people lived in Muttama with a median age of 33. All homes are owner occupied (either owned outright or through a mortgage). Unfortunately, being such a small statistical population, the Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish more in depth data for analysis.

Tumblong Environment Tumblong and surrounds are known to have been disturbed and utilised for agriculture for over 150 years, remnant vegetation and animal communities remain.

There are 237 records of flora and fauna are available for the defined area. Appendix A of this document details all flora and fauna recorded for the Tumblong area. A number of native fauna species threatened due to habitat competition with introduced species. History The word Tumblong comes from the Wiradjuri word “Tamblong” which means crossing place. What is now considered Tumblong, was originally called Adelong Crossing Place until 1913 when it was renamed “Tumblong” after the neighbouring land which had been the original “Tumblong Run” site leased by Henry Stuckey in 1854.

The most infamous aspect of Tumblong is the Tumblong Tavern which is visible from the Hume Highway. The Tumblong Tavern is on the site of the Bangus Inn which had been converted from the original ten bedroom home of Bangus Station known as Bramballa circa 1843. It is quite possible that the Tumblong Tavern is a conversation of this building, meaning that the Tumblong Tavern may be one of the oldest European structures in the region.

Saint James Church in Tumblong opened in 1871 funded by the community and the Diocese of Goulburn. The church is an important part of the community in Tumblong and services still occur.

Tumblong has a long military history with plaques to commemorate the service of Tumblong residents in the Boer War, World War One, World War Two, Korea and Vietnam. The contingent of those who served in World Wars One and Two is particularly large with 32 and 91 people respectively. The Tumblong Memorial Hall was dedicated on the 5th of November 1954 to commemorate the service of the 91 who served in the Second World War. The Hall is an impressive brick building which is still well used today.

Tumblong is located on the Tumut Branch Line which has been closed since 1984. The station at Tumblong was opened in 1903 as “Adelong Crossing” and renamed “Tumblong” in 1913 after there was much confusion by those wishing to get to Adelong (not serviced by a train station). The station itself was closed in 1975, as were a number of other stations on that line.

Demography In 2016, 196 people lived in Tumblong with a median age of 40. There majority of people were employed in the beef cattle industry and road freight transport. 20.5 percent of dwellings were unoccupied which is more than double the state average of 9.9 percent. This is not uncommon in rural areas with many workers cottages falling into disrepair and disuse as agriculture has become more and more mechanised.

The tenure of occupied dwellings is interesting, 45.2 percent of dwellings owned with a mortgage which is higher than the state average of 32.3 percent. Thankfully, 94.2 percent of these loans require repayments which are less than 30 percent of household income. While not unusual for farming land to be mortgaged, it is unusual for as high as 20 percent of dwellings to be rented in a rural community.

Strategic Planning Context The Rural Communities Strategy is a long term alternative for people seeking a more affordable, strategy aimed at residential and lifestyle growth close knit community lifestyle. and development of the identified rural communities Because of this, policy around State residential living, rural living and services need to be incorporated into any direction and The NSW State Government has made a recommendations which come from this concentrated effort to address growth, with strategy. focus on infrastructure provision and housing pressures State wide, with Sydney attracting the Commonwealth most focus as the largest city and biggest contributor to overall State revenue.

Regional Homelessness Plan 2010-2014

Riverina/Murray

The Regional Homeless Plan for the Riverina/Murray contains some sobering statistics about the often hidden extent of homelessness in our community, particularly the rate of indigenous homelessness.

A central theme is a lack of housing variety and therefore affordable housing in our region. The Plan lists actions to be completed, some with Local Government acting in partner with Housing NSW.

Opportunities and Constraints

Location

The location of the rural communities means that they are viable lifestyle alternatives to the nearest towns being Cootamundra, Gundagai and Tumut. As growth was advocated by only one community, opportunities as a lifestyle alternative have only really been explored in Tumblong.

Adjungbilly

Directional signs leading to Adjungbilly would encourage more people to explore the area, particuarly if they directed people towards Adjungbilly as far back as Coolac Road. To encourage greater use and function of commmunity facilities, Council and other organisations should take every opportunity to partner with Bongongo Public School in providing upgraded and multi use facilities.

Figure 6: The Hall at the School is also used by the wider community for events and meetings

Muttama

Travelling through Muttama along Muttama Road (Hoskins Street) despite being signposted from 100km per hour to 80 kilomteres per hour it is not always clear to people that they have actually passed through Muttama. Lowering the speed limit further to 60 kilometres per hour was suggested during consultation, however the amount of entry and exit points and number of vehicle movements does not warrant 60 kilometres per hour at this time. If the aim is not necessarily to get people to stop in Muttama, but rather recognise that they are passing through Muttama, then this can be achieved through more obvious welcome signs at either end of Hoskins Street and highlight tree planting.

As a point of interest a sculpture come direction sign could be placed at the intersection of Hoskins Street and Bridge Street to direct any who are interested to the Muttama Hall and the recreation ground. At the Hall a community notice board and information on the history of Muttama should be displayed as a method of communicating with the Muttama community and visitors alike.

Upgrades and necessary repair work at the Muttama Hall are made complicated by a lack of leadership from Council over the years, the age of the Hall (built 1925) and the differing priorities of committee members. A practical approach may need to be taken to evaluate the cost of repairing and bringing the Hall to a usable standard versus demolition and construction of a new facility – however that is a community decision. A method of obtaining funding for upgrades to the existing Hall would be to include the Hall on the local heritage register and as a result be elegible for grants under the Heritage Near Me scheme running until 2019 by the Office of Environment and Heritage New South Wales.

The recreation ground being Crown Land is elegible for a number of grants should a committee of management be formed which complies with standards required by Crown Lands in terms of committee management. In this instance, Council could offer an assisting role in helping the committee of management lodge necessary documents for recogition and endorse subsequent grant requests such as requests for funds to upgrade the tennis courts.

Maintenance and signposting of the cemetery was seen as a priority of the residents of Muttama. The most significant change would be to create a clear entryway from Gundagai Road to the cemetery using structures such as a gateway and/or trees to signify that this is the entrance. Safety was also raised as a concern with the current gate operation requiring visitors to park on the side of a regional road and wrestle with the farm gate. Installation of a cattle grid is an option, if Short Street (designated, unformed road from Gundagai Road to the cemetery) is unable to be fenced off.

The cemetery itself is a protected area and for some months of the year the cemetery is not able to be mowed. To ensure that graves are still accessible, creating a pathway to the various grave areas would reduce snake danger and improve mobility for elderly and less mobile people. Noting that Short Street is unformed or physically seperated from the neighbouring paddock, establishment of a clearly signposted and maintained parking area should be investigated.

Figure 7: Accent trees such as ornamental pears provide clear indicators of corners and boundaries. If accent plantings are successful, the option to infill with a contrasting tree such as red maples or jacarandas to improve general amenity can be explored.

Figure 8: A dual purpose community notice board and locality information board was raised as being desirable in Muttama © Cootes Farm Community

Tumblong

Feedback from the Tumblong community is that they wish to grow. Tumblong has a locational advantage for residential growth being on the Hume Highway and accessible to both Gundagai and Tumut. Areas for rezoning to encourage residential growth are identified in Appendix B.

To improve connectivity and recreational opportunities, exploration of the possibility of a rail trail between Gundagai and Tumblong should investigated. Rail trails can bring substantial opptunities to an area and ancillary economic activity such as farm stays, cafes and other services. Being so close to the Hume Highway, such businesses could not only serve recreational bikers but highway travellers as well. Should such an economy develop, Tumblong has real potential of becoming more of a village than rural community as a clear urban form would develop.

Historical displays and information along the railway corridor would further add to points of interest as would improved signage to encourage highway travellers to venture down to the Memorial Hall and Church.

Regular slashing and mowing will improve the amenity of the community and help to demonstrate the pride of place Tumblong residents feel. Stormwater pooling is a concern coming off the Highway and onto Adelong Road, as this section of the road should be widened, stormwater can be addressed as a part of road upgrades.

Appendix B – Growth Scenario

Rural Residential

Out of all the rural communities, Tumblong was the only one to express a desire for residential growth. As Tumblong is not yet a village, it is more appropriate that intensification of rural living lots occur, until such time that services and an urban form develops.

Changing to the RU4 – Primary Production Small Lots from RU1 – Primary Production Large Lots will allow for area specific land uses and a smaller than current (40 hectares) minimum lot size and associated ability to lodge a development application for a dwelling. At this stage, without sewer or water connected an appropriate minimum lot size would be 5 hectares.
